Joint Humentum and Bond Letter around urgent need to support Sector Resilience issued to DFID Tioday

  • 1.  Joint Humentum and Bond Letter around urgent need to support Sector Resilience issued to DFID Tioday

    Hi

    Yesterday the UK Govt published its long awaited support package for UK charities.  While very welcome and important, it is focussed on the domestic agenda and does not include support for international charities.

    Humentum has therefore worked closely with Bond and member organisations today to develop a specific and targeted ask of DFID for a mix of measures to allow a faster pivot in the response and maintain the sector's readiness and response in the face of severe financial challenges.

    The joint letter we submitted is attached.

    Thanks to the various member CEOs and CFOs that contributed to the development of this letter today.

    Tim
